Owen Hobbs
Head of Trading Operations & Product Platforms
United States · Hong Kong · Singapore
I lead Trading Operations & Product Platforms at CoinAlpha, the company behind Hummingbot, the most widely used open-source market making framework. I manage the trading team responsible for our client accounts, own the execution infrastructure they operate on, and build the platforms on top of it: performance dashboards, execution quality tracking, automated reporting, and the operational tooling that keeps 100+ concurrent trading markets running at 99%+ uptime. Representing CoinAlpha internationally across Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.S., I've seen firsthand what institutional clients need and how platforms should serve them.
That experience showed me a gap: the tools existed to build institutional-quality trading systems, but connecting strategy research, backtesting, optimization, live execution, and monitoring into a single cohesive pipeline required deep domain knowledge that most engineers don't have, and most traders can't build.
Helios is my answer. I'm not a software engineer by training. I'm an operations and platform leader who built this system to prove that domain expertise paired with AI can produce something that stands up to professional scrutiny. Every line of strategy code, every infrastructure decision, and this website were built in partnership with Claude.
Built With Claude
Claude isn't just a tool I used. It's a development partner. The entire Helios system was built through continuous collaboration: discussing architecture decisions, debugging edge cases, reviewing trading logic, and iterating on this website's design.
Strategy Development
Signal generation logic, entry/exit rules, risk management, and position sizing, all developed through iterative dialogue.
Infrastructure
NautilusTrader integration, dYdX adapter, order lifecycle management, and the complete backtesting pipeline.
This Website
Next.js frontend, Supabase data architecture, Recharts visualizations, and automated webhook pipeline for live trade ingestion.
Monitoring Agents
An autonomous agent framework where Claude-powered agents monitor the live trading system 24/7, detecting bugs and analyzing performance.
